    I don't know what's going on, but I've submitted two articles to the food and drink networking site. Hubpages keeps rejecting them for a "Site Mismatch" reason. It's my redbull infusion recipe and my lotus energy drink recipe. I don't know. I'm really irritated.

      There have been multiple forum posts lately regarding "site mismatch". Prior to now, HP would put the submitted articles in the appropriate niche site and advise of same. I wonder why they're no longer doing that.

        Yes, I noticed that, too. I've always had either the generic "it could be this or that" rejection, or the "we'll publish if you do this" email. I've never had a site mismatch explanation, or any explanation really.

    Yeah mine just said site mismatch and it was kept on HP not put on another site but I thought there was only one niche site for an article about writing.

      I think that since we now have to play the niche fit guessing game, HP should lift the two week submittal restriction.

        I thought someone posted that they got an email about lifting it soon. I believe it was Misbah786.

          Kenna, my issue was different. It  was about a 60-day timeframe to resubmit the article to the network site. It got resolved. smile

          This is a different issue. Now, the editors are rejecting articles saying it is a site mismatch; in that case, we have to wait 14 days before resubmitting it.

          Blessings to you!! smile

        What the heck is Discover?  I haven't been around for a while and am not up on the changes.

    This “site mismatch” seems to be a new thing. But it seems a lot of people are receiving that message when they manually submit articles to niche sites recently. I haven’t received that notification myself, but did have one article moved from “Holidappy” to “Letterpile” as they say they think it is a better fit there. Incidentally it was HP who chose to put the article at “Holidappy” in the first place over a year ago, (with major edits) not me. Since they moved it to Letterpile I have reversed most of their edits back to the original.
